90 mins     Comedy, Musical, Western      

"A Ticket to Tomahawk" is all about the rootin' tootin' Kit Dodge Jr., a plucky young woman who won't take no bossing from the men. Except when you think of other old westerns involving a rootin' tootin' cowgirl you think big...

Look at the screenshot of the beautiful Gene Tierney laid out in the grass resting, her shirt torn across the shoulder giving you a tantalizing view of her body. It is one of the many memorable images which fill up "Way of a ...

River of No Return (1954)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

"River of No Return" would have struggled to be an average western if it wasn't for two things, Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe as it is these 2 actors who make it an entertaining and enjoyable movie. Without them you are l...

Four Guns to the Border (1954)

83 mins     Western      

There is one key thing I mentioned in that brief synopsis of "Four Guns to the Border" and that is that Maggie has tamed the once wild Jim Flannery and that is the theme of this 1950s western. And it is not just Jim's taming ...

The Spoilers (1955)

84 mins     Western      

In 1906 Rex Beach's novel "The Spoilers" was published over the next 50 years it was to be adapted in a movie not once but 5 times which is quite staggering for one book, especially one which is a western. But there is a reas...

The Treasure of Pancho Villa (1955)

92 mins     Western      

The first thing which strikes you about "The Treasure of Pancho Villa" is the impressive colouring and sharpness of image, in those early scenes it doesn't look like a movie over 50 years old but one made more recent. The oth...

Red Sundown (1956)

81 mins     Western      

That like so many westerns is the driving force of "Red Sundown" whether or not Alec having been made a deputy can change his ways and use his skills with the gun to bring law and order or whether or not he will go back to hi...

Ride Out for Revenge (1957)

78 mins     Western      

"Ride Out for Revenge" could easily have been called "Ride Out for Routine" as there is nothing in this western you won't have seen before and there is nothing about the direction or action which helps lift this western to be...

Apache Territory (1958)

77 mins     Western      

As a child I had little Cowboy & Indian figures and typically acted out make believe western battles where the cowboys were pinned down and had to fight their way out of trouble. Well "Apache Territory" is just a big screen v...

80 mins     Western      

Smart ideas certainly can help a movie but they can't save it or at least that is the case of "The Saga of Hemp Brown" a routine 1950's western which occasionally grabs your attention with a well thought out plot element. As ...

The Gun Hawk (1963)

92 mins     Western      

Usually I would call a western like "The Gun Hawk" a cliche western because here we have the classic western storyline of a well known outlaw trying to live his life peacefully but having to deal day in day out with the dange...

Operation Cross Eagles (1968)

90 mins     War      

This is going to be one of my shorter movie reviews because I can't bring myself to waste much energy on trying to make "Operation Cross Eagles" sound any better than it is which isn't very good. The first thing which will st...
